I think you're being a bit harsh on the original poster, I think he is referring to the sort of evidence that Creationists for example wouldn't be able to argue against. Without Creationists there would be no need for argument, there are so many different fields that verify evolution and they...

Like I said, it's a difficult question! My point was that most people will assume that there would more likely be nothing and this freaks them out a little bit. The religious seem to think that creating a God fills this hole when I don't see how it would. It would just become why is there a...

Whoa, your situation sounds pretty bad. Some of us however are still in the closet all these years on. My dad was a strict catholic, and we were forced to go to church a few times a week for most of my life. Coming out wasn't an issue, I'd have been disowned and my family would have sided with...

All I got from that debate was how quick TruthfulChristian was willing to pull out. He'd called it off before it had started. Shows an insecurity if you ask me.

Plus to add to this, how is prayer supposed to work full stop. How do Christians for instance justify unanswered prayers? When millions are praying for the safe return of Madeleine McCann, do they think that God is deciding whether or not to let her live and that prayer could convince him...

Thanks for that, at least that makes some sort of sense. Do you build up your prayer bar though if you're more respectful than others? I bet if there was a God he'd be sick to death of hearing them. Plus at the end of the Hail Mary it says, 'pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our...

I think WLC does argue well and I think this irritates many Atheists. Personally I think that's why I find him so annoying. What he is saying is ludicrous but he often gives the impression that he has won the argument. I think many atheists find him very difficult to debate with, take Hitchens...

I was brought up in a religious family and never truly believed. However because I was brought up within the Catholic church, even though I had lost what little faith I had, the whole thing seemed to make sense, I just didn't believe it. Slowly but surely I have started to see how strange a lot...

Re: Evidence of Christ other than Josephus and early morning This is a good point. Christians expend a lot of energy trying to convince us that Jesus was a reliable historical figure but even if he was it makes it in no way likely that he is the son of God. I love how they still to this day...

Re: Evidence of Christ other than Josephus and early morning I think the question of Jesus' historicity is an important one. Not to place somebodies whole atheism on but a good one to use against Christians, many of whom do base their whole faith on this figure. Most Christians that I know...
